Evaluating the biomechanical efficacy of 2.5+2.0 double plating against 3.5 single plating in Ulna shaft fracture fixation: A cadaveric study
Objectives and questions: The main postoperative complications in fixation of ulna shaft fractures are non-union and implant irritation. Current standards recommend 3.5-mm locking compression plates, that can cause soft tissue irritation in patients, which may necessitate the secondary removal of implants.
